I 'd like to thank you for all your help with my problem when the root partition on my box was deleted.
The current situatrion is that I managed to install 2.0 from the dos partitiopn the system is minimally working. BUT i have no configuration files. No /lib libraries. I could reinstall but I thought that it would be easier if I retrieve staff from my backup. I use tob for my backups But of course tob does not work becasuse I have a generic kernel and the modules needed for ftape do not have the hardware configuration of my system So the uestion is how do I pass on the memory adress irq and dma which I know to the ftape module without recompilingthe ftape (which for some reason I can'yt do anyway) Any help will be really appreciated George ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- George Kapetanios Churchill College Cambridge, CB3 0DS E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] U.K. WWW: http://garfield.chu.cam.ac.uk/~gk205/work_info.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
